ALERT -- DON'T LET JEFFORDS STAY IN POWER!!!!!
ISSUE: We've won the election. Now, can our leaders make the right decisions... from the start?
Senator Jim Jeffords, the turncoat Republican from Vermont who switched to Independent and gave the Daschle Democrats control of the last Senate, is trying to keep his treacherous grip on political power.
You see, in return for his "favor" to the Democrats, the *former* Senate leaders (don't you love saying that?) allowed Jeffords to keep his chairmanship of the Environment and Public Works Committee. With the GOP back in power, he'll lose that seat for sure.
Or will he?
According to the Washington Times, "the election results were barely in before Mr. Jeffords' office put out feelers to his former party's leaders. The message? That the Vermonter would be happy to caucus with the GOP -- so long as he retained his committee chairmanship."
Don't think it could happen? Senate Republican leaders are *notorious* for shooting themselves in the foot, and might do it again -- unless they hear from US right away.
ACTION ITEM: As Gary Bauer puts it, "Senator Jeffords made his decision. He cost his party and the President two years of Senate gridlock. Now he can build character while being part of the new Senate Democrat minority."
We need THOUSANDS of conservative activists across the nation to get a *strong* message to the new Senate Majority Leader, Trent Lott, telling him to "JUST SAY NO" to turncoat Sen. Jeffords... and ConservativeAlerts.com has set up a quick- and-easy way to do that, a way that he'll be SURE to get the message.
CLICK BELOW to send a *personalized letter* by Federal Express, urging Senator Lott to DENY any request by Sen. Jeffords for ANY position of power in the new Senate:

If you were to send a FedEx to Sen. Lott yourself, it would cost you at least $15.00 -- but we've set it up so you can send your message via Federal Express for only $9.95! Send your FedEx TODAY, to help bring an end to Jeffords' desperate attempt at keeping power!
NOTE: As always, we've also set up a way for you to send an e-mail to Sen. Lott for FREE -- just go to

Please forward this to everyone you know who wants to see our leaders start making the right decisions NOW, and not fall into any appeasements of liberals in the Senate -- especially a turncoat like Jeffords. Thank you!
Im not even sure what you are asking since it was several exchanges ago and you never put anything of value in your post. If this whole issue is of importance to you than I suggest that you do the research. I frankly dont care. If no one challenges Lott, then it doesnt matter why because Lott will be the Leader. You cant beat something with nothing. Hell I learned that in college more than thirty years ago. Grow up and either run yourself, get a candidate or shutup.
Who is doing the name calling?
You made comments you can't back up. You have the growing up to do. I'm simply calling you on it and you don't like that one bit.
Which are what? You have said that four or five time but Im not going to hunt through the whole thread to find out what you are bitching you dumb shit. If you cant write an intelligent sentence asking for what you want then suffer the consequences. Take it up with Lott or at least with your own Senator. If you dont have at least one Republican Senator in your state maybe that explains your churlish behavior.
